State Representative Aaron Michlewitz Monday filed a bill that would change laws governing shadows cast on Boston Common and the Public Garden, key to plans for a 775-foot tower that developer Millennium Partners wants to build on the site of a shuttered city parking garage on Devonshire Street.

State Rep. Aaron Michlewitz of Boston, co-chairman of the committee and his colleagues listened patiently, asked relevant questions, and made it clear that the voice of the people would be considered as legislation makes its way to Gov. Charlie Baker’s desk.
